Is it a Wise Law2

There is no mistaking the wide
spread opposition to the inter state
commerce bill. The law may sur
vive in some modified shape, but
there is no doubt that the unwis-
dom of its principal features will
become so manifest by fall that
congress will be forced to modify it.
We have been slow to find fault
with the law. When the commits
sion question was pending in Ten
nessee THE CITIZEN maintained
that regulation in order to be uni
form must be exerted from Wash
ington. We are yet of that opinion,
though we doubt the effectiveness
of such remedy to cure the evils
complained of. Statuary regulation
should be vigorously enforced in
the courts, and. competition will do
the rest. But now that the scheme
is being tried, we favor putting it
to the fullest test. Suffering will
make US strong-we will know bet
ter in the future. Judge Cooley,
now president of the commission,
only few years ago strongly ia
vored the government owning and
operating all the railroads. Such
radical views upon this question
may lead him into excuses that
will hasten repeal. The whole idea
of governmental interference with
railroads is directly sntagcnistic OF
democracy. The government can
with as much propriety regulate
your farm or your store or your
cook. The seizure of control Of
railroads is a monster stri de'to
wards Capitalization. Democracy's
greatest purpose is to see that the
people are lett secure in unlimited
control and enjoyment of their
property, and to admit the power Of
the government to regulate the bus
mess of individual is to surrender
this vital principle. The tendency
to take power out of the hands Of
the people and centralize it al
Washington is too strong already
and will lead to inevitable despot-
ism If not checked. Democracy
stands between the people and this
great danger. Shall she surrender
the principle in the case of rail
roads? Then why not in the case
of farms or stores? This suggests
the danger in sight. Gen. Grant
once said that the best way to kill
u bad law is to enforce it.

The newspaper consolidation al
Nashville suggested to every man
at once the probability of the es
adjustment of another incendiary
sheet like the World-to keep the
party sores open and feed on the
fostering stuff. Some unprincipled
marplot, protesting pure democra-
cy," is given opportunity to pander
to and feed prejudIces and create
and foster dissensions, all for his
own gain, but in the name Of demo
cracy. God save the party from
demagogs and political anarchists
The man who pirates loudest about
his democracy is generally demo
crat for revenue only-a topper
from Floptown. If such a man is
found to start such a paper, let the
people be warned of its purpose in
advance.

A FATAL MISTAKE.

'
of February 23d, 1888, pub
lished an account Of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement Of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone'' sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Thenfollowed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. AL prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief,
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had q cancer In the stomach,
and in order tosave the patients
life an operation was justitii-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. PelTier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and Dr.. Halliwel Of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
Of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
Of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
. sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
: If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution for
this was what the disease really
Was), she would have been NV
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class Of
cases is too yolupinous to be
published here but those who
read the published evidence in
favor Of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale. -= ~
